 .SH OPTIONS
+.SS "Standard Checks"
+From version \fB6.0\fR onwards, \fBcbmc\fR, \fBgoto-analyzer\fR and some other tools
+apply some checks to the program by default (called the "standard checks"), with the
+aim to provide a better user experience for a non-expert user of the tool. These checks are:
+.TP
+\fB\-\-pointer\-check\fR
+enable pointer checks
+.TP
+\fB\-\-bounds\-check\fR
+enable array bounds checks
+.TP
+\fB\-\-undefined\-shift\-check\fR
+check shift greater than bit\-width
+.TP
+\fB\-\-div\-by\-zero\-check\fR
+enable division by zero checks
+.TP
+\fB\-\-pointer\-primitive\-check\fR
+checks that all pointers in pointer primitives are valid or null
+.TP
+\fB\-\-signed\-overflow\-check\fR
+enable signed arithmetic over\- and underflow checks
+.TP
+\fB\-\-malloc\-may\-fail\fR
+allow malloc calls to return a null pointer
+.TP
+\fB\-\-malloc\-fail\-null\fR
+set malloc failure mode to return null
+.TP
+\fB\-\-unwinding\-assertions\fR (\fBcbmc\fR\-only)
+generate unwinding assertions (cannot be
+used with \fB\-\-cover\fR)
+.PP
+These checks can all be deactivated at once by using the \fB\-\-no\-standard\-checks\fR flag
+like in the header example, or individually, by prepending a \fBno\-\fR before the flag, like
+so: \fB\-\-no\-pointer\-check\fR. If an already set flag is reset, like calling \fB\-\-pointer\-check\fR
+when default checks are already on, the flag set is ignored.
 .SS "Analysis options:"
 .TP
+\fB\-\-no\-standard\-checks\fR
+disable the standard (default) checks applied to a C/GOTO program
+(see above for more information)
+.TP
 \fB\-\-show\-properties\fR
 show the properties, but don't run analysis
 .TP
